Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Hi all, I am finally over my cold. Thank you for all your wonderful comments on my posts - they really cheered me up and I enjoyed reading them all.

I was really pleased to see the cheerful Lili Of The Valley Challenge this week - Winter Fun! And what better way to try out my new LOTV stamp which features James Bear, enjoying the snow.

The challenge asked for glitter! Yay, I love going over the top with the glittery stuff every once in a while. A couple of weeks ago I saw some snowflake paper that I really liked on Handy Hippo Website. So immediately thought of that for background. I wanted to create a Winter Wonderland for James Bear so I went to town with the Diamond Stickle and also added some glitter card and sparkly Christmas trees.

The leaves are gorgeous colours at the moment. Danny (my darling Tibetan Terrier) has a new game - chasing and catching the falling leaves. He is 13 years of age (if human he would be drawing his pension!) but I don't remember him playing this game ever before. It kind of goes against the saying 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks!'

As Christmas is approaching I have got in early and asked Father Christmas for a Die Cutter. I am so tired of cutting everything out by hand and I find it a real chore cutting out mounts to size, especially if you want to do fancy scalloped edges - it takes forever with ruler and scissors. I really can't wait until I can use the Nestabilities.'

I thought this post I would share a photo of Danny enjoying last year's snowfall. Danny loves the snow and likes nothing better than snuffling his nose in it and sending it everywhere as you can see by this photo!

What a gorgeous card! The colours are fab and i love the image.Thank you for visiting my blog, it means a lot to me.Can you believe i bought a cuttlebug a few weeks ago but i can't use it as i can't afford it anymore! Life is unpredictable :))Hugs xxPat

Thanks for your comments also. I have asked for a cuttlebug or sizzix for xmas instead of lots of little pressies, so I hope I will be able to afford stuff for it. I will have to choose the dies wisely! But I also have to replace my laptop which is old and keeps dying on me so money will be tight all next year while I pay for that. But my laptop is my life really as I am partially disabled and cannot get out and about.
